Very busy on the weekends. Small space, and crowded. Food comes very quick, and staff is very attentive. Great breakfast variety. Love the eggs benedict, the egg white omlets are fab. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, this place is over rated by most of the locals. It's crowded, bit not because the food is so good- there just aren't many other options in this upscale location. Try Charlie's Diner just up the road in Lawrence instead.

I love this place, they take on the whole "Bostonian" attitude, sit down, shut up and eat. The place is small and I can see why they don't want strollers. Plus, people with small children can be really rude themselves,with their own sippie cups and all...Overall for a great place to get some great food, this is by far the best place in town! Go Amy and Brian, I love the new tables with advertising on them,,,,shows they are "communtiy" conscience!

A once great place is now unfortunately one of the worst eateries in Andover. The food is average at best and the atmostsphere is the worst that you'll find on the planet. The service is slow and rude, and the management sets the tone with an attitude is: "The Customer is Always Wrong."

It's notoriously known as a place that you can NOT go near with children. To say it's not kid-friendly is the understatement of the year. The problem is - they're not friendly to anyone.

Here's the easy equation:

Bad food + awful atmostsphere = DON'T GO!

Andover's best breakfast joint by far. Super friendly (sincere) service by tie-dye-T-shirted staff, delicious daily specials, very clean, even the booths reek of warmth and welcome. The two onwers,Amy and Batman, provide a very comfortable, inviting spot in your life to relax and enjoy everything from a great cup of coffee to lobster Benedict and tie-dye pancakes.

Award Nomination: Best Service
